The Law Sovereign suddenly stepped forward a few paces, losing all sense of reason. Without a care, he grabbed Mo Qingwu by the collar, leaving himself completely open and defenseless, and gritted his teeth as he shouted, “You tell me… how can I still turn back?!”
“How can I turn back?!”
“What face do I have left to turn back?!”
“Who am I?!”
“What am I?! What was I before? What am I now?!”
Mo Qingwu, fully concentrated and brimming with cultivation level, was ready to counterattack at any moment. He believed he could severely injure the Law Sovereign and still escape unharmed, but he did not move, allowing the Law Sovereign to yell at him.
“I am no longer human; I have become a demon! In fact, I ceased to be human long ago! How many people have I killed for my own selfish desires? How many good people have I slain?” The Law Sovereign roared at Mo Qingwu, “Do you know? You are better off than me! You were trapped by me before you could even do any evil, how easy it must be for you! But what about me?! What should I do?”
“What was the purpose of my plans over all these years? What meaning do they hold?!”
“How many people have I killed openly and secretly at the enforcer headquarters for opposing me? Were any of them not once heroes? Were any of them not filled with righteous aspirations? Were any of them not noble enforcers of the martial arts world? But when I wanted to take revenge on the Nine Calamity Sword Master, they blocked me, and I killed them!”
“This time, I have not only turned my heart into a demon. My body has also transformed into a heavenly demon; I have become a complete demon! All the high-ranking enforcers have fallen into my hands! Were any of these people not once admired heroes in the world?”
“It is these heroes who have all been demonized by me! I have committed such great sins! Can I still turn back?!”
“After I have done all this, you tell me now that I am wrong! My brothers are still alive, my elder brother was doing it for our sake, it was all my misunderstanding! … Hahaha … Hehehe … Wuwuwu …”
The Law Sovereign howled to the heavens, tears streaming down his face, “Heaven! Why is this happening to me? Why? Why?!”
Why is this happening?
At this moment, even though they were enemies, Gu Duxing and the others couldn't help but feel sorrow for him. They thought about the Law Sovereign’s life, how he had stumbled step by step into the wrong path, with no way back.
In the last moment, realizing the truth with no way to turn back… the desolation felt in their hearts was overwhelming. Hearing the tragic cries of such a heroic overlord and peak supreme being, they almost wished to cry alongside him.
This kind of strong figure, the first in power, the peak supreme, and once a legendary Nine Calamity hero; even if he were to be crushed to pieces, it wouldn't make him frown. Even at the end of his rope, it wouldn’t move him; even losing his soul wouldn’t make him lose his composure in public!
But at this moment, he cried out loud in despair!
A loud, unrestrained cry.
Who can understand the depth of this emotion?
The Law Sovereign, in despair, let go of Mo Qingwu’s collar, stiffened in shock, and staggered back, his hands still outstretched but trembling violently. Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and shouted, “So it turns out my persistence for tens of thousands of years was just a misunderstanding, a joke!”
“The ones I hated the most were actually those who cared for me the most, sacrificing everything to help me! My selfishness harmed the strength of my brothers and indirectly destroyed my elder brother’s sacrifice! All my schemes became meaningless, even harmful, destructive, and ruinous! This is what I have done, my original intentions? My turning back? Is it possible? Can it be?!”
The Law Sovereign laughed bitterly.
The demonic fog and evil aura around him grew thicker.
Mo Qingwu quietly looked at him and said, “It’s not too late; you still have a chance to turn back, as long as you still have a heart, a human heart, you can turn back!”
